About Me
I’m a freelance writer and software engineer, I’ve just sold my second novel, and I can hold thirty-one pencils under each breast. During my 38 years on this planet I’ve been a Scrabble fanatic, a trapeze artist, a maths and philosophy graduate, a cleaner, a revolutionary socialist, a hedonist, a lesbian vegetarian women-only workers’ co-op member and a meat-eating heterosexual computer programmer. I live in inner city Manchester, in a decrepit house with bits of old ship in the cellar, a dismembered shop dummy in the garden, a child on the sofa and a journalist in the bed. I once went to trapeze lessons for a whole year. I loved being upside down and in the sky, but I wasn’t very good at it. I was never really a trapeze artist. An interview with me. Me Me Me Me Me.

Wow, that story is amazing. I used to work for an archaeological charity, and the stories never fail to enchant me.
Hi Clare!
This is Miles (the 18-year old brother of Miles & Dominic Davies). Thank you so much for your comment on my brother's blog!
I did comment on the original post of yours about us but I thought you might never find it, so I decided to let you know on the most recent one!
I won't repeat myself, everything's on your original post!
Miles
Hi Miles,
Yes, I saw your original comment - I get notified whenever anyone comments, it just takes me a while to get round to replying sometimes... but I have now replied on the original post here (it's not updating properly so you have to click on the comments link to see the more recent comments).
It's great to hear from you again - pass my regards to your brother, too!
JJ, I know, it's such a great story I may well use it as the basis for some live aural storytelling myself. Gives a nice sense of continuity to the ancient craft, apart from anything else...
Wow.
